Alternative Education Campuses

For alternative education campuses (AECs), the bill:

• Directs the department of education (department) when administering state education grants to allocate priority points to AECs;
• Authorizes AECs to include certain high-risk students in the AEC's pupil count who are 21 years of age or younger during the budget year;
• Requires the department to prepare and post a report on enrollment trends, student demographics, and student mobility in AECs; and
• Exempts an AEC from losing its designation due to a fluctuation in enrollment for one school year.

The bill appropriates $9,613 to the department.
